(Updated 1/28) Used to have a 2018 Premier, now have a 2023 EV 2LT. Here are what I consider regressions (roughly in decreasing order of importance):
Things the 2022+ EV 2LT has added compared with 2017: ACC, Driver PowerSeat, HD Rearview camera, Sticky 'L' setting, better seats, wireless carplay (surprisingly, this is the biggest improvement for me)
The EUV lost me when it added 6 inches to the car for "looks" and rear seats instead of the trunk - I'm still in disbelief.
- No Rear door unlock buttons - if you use them, they're extremely handy
- Rear seats aren't heated.
- No Camera-in-mirror
- 2022+ rear lights design is worse IMO - but not having brake and indicators on the tail lights is just plain terrible.
- IMO, Chevy took a pretty unusable center console and somehow made it much more unusable in 2022+.
- I liked the original shifter and the ability to toggle between D & L. Now there's a bunch of buttons that are impossible to use by feel - have to look down - and take up more space. Heck, the D/L button is flush and indistinguishable from the console.
- The new console has a bunch of homogenous buttons, it's basically impossible to tell them apart by feel. The location/size of the sports mode/traction/lane-keep-assist buttons is plain dangerous. Why is the heated steering wheel not on the steering wheel?
- FYI - center armrest no longer moves, no tray in space under center armrest (this you can buy).
- Front camera doesn't automatically come on while parking, this worked in the previous version. And seriously, just give us a dedicated camera button - there's literally an unused button in the console
- Front console - I really like the original Bolt's white/grey colour combination & design, the new one is plain and boring.
- Same with seats colour scheme - just plain & dark (with not-very-strong interior lights)
- Regen in reverse feels weird but can be worked with.
- The extra-regen steering wheel button is smaller and located above its previous location. The new location takes some getting used to.
- Worse main infotainment screen - the split view in the old EV was nice. The overall infotainment system is better though.
- Apparently no led turn signals on the side mirrors.
- No roof rails.
